In Rich's 5th grade class, where I find the best expression of how I think things should be done, there's nothing explicitly done to help the students know what they think our role is. If they think it's strange that we don't resolve all questions immediately, or let them work in different ways than they're used to, they don't say anything about it. They seem very accepting of it all. So that would indicate to me that their ideas about what a teacher should be doing isn't that entrenched. Or, best case scenario, that the teachers in my building have been listening!Joe Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304083254248927187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907702537884089718.post-25214546695815629382017-01-07T16:04:24.380-08:002017-01-07T16:04:24.380-08:00Yes.

It's such a subtle and easy change to make, but it has a big impact.Joe Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304083254248927187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907702537884089718.post-91213964638249462932017-01-07T16:03:04.852-08:002017-01-07T16:03:04.852-08:00Thank you Jen!

Which of course isn't exactly *their* understanding. <br /><br />I like the ways of dividing up the pizza into three - especially the one dividing into quarters then thirds of a quarter. It seems to me that these together give a picture of a third from many angles!Simon Gregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751362728185120933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907702537884089718.post-53950202526466372892017-01-05T18:01:18.784-08:002017-01-05T18:01:18.784-08:00"It was too teacher directed."
